A longtime French Quarter barber tells*Gambit that U.S. Sen. David Vitter visited ?the hooker?s house? on Dumaine Street in the late 1990s ? and that Vitter occasionally got his hair cut while ?waiting for the girl across the street? to return home.

That location is where former New Orleans prostitute Wendy Ellis (aka Wendy Cortez) claims she lived while carrying on a sexual liaison with Vitter, which Vitter has denied for nearly a decade. At a 2007 press conference in Metairie, after Vitter admitted ?a serious sin? in connection with his phone number turning up in the records of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the ?D.C. Madam," the senator was adamant that ?those New Orleans stories in recent reports ? those stories were not true.?*
